Ins Haus des Totengräbers
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
Tenor-solo:
 Ins Haus des Totengräbers
 Fallt durch die Fensterlein,
 Umrankt vom Efeugitter
 Der holde Morgenschein.
 Es weckt mit leisem Grusse
 Der Greis die Pilgerin.

Rose:
 Hab' Dank für deine Güte,
 Nun will ich weiter zieh'n,
 Und woll' die Hande legen
 Aufs Haupt, mein Vater, mir,
 Beglückt mit deinem Segen,
 Nur so geh' ich von dir.

Totengräber:
 O glücklich, dreimal glücklich ist,
 Wer dich als seine Tochter küsst,
 Hör' meine Bitte: folge mir,
 Ich gebe treue Eltern dir.

Tenor-solo:
 Die Rose sinkt an seine Brust,
 Sie grüsst des Lebens erste Lust.
